He doesnt need to hurt you to realize your worth.
You question them but it isnt them youre questioning its everyone from your past.
After the last time, you swore youd be more guarded.
liat.a
You swore you wouldnt let someone trick you as you fall for lines.
But then you meet someone different.
Someone you dont want to let in so easily.
liat.a
Someone who makes it easy.
And try and convince yourself there isnt something there.
But regardless of how hard you try and deny the obvious, you cant.
Without even meaning to you fall a little faster.
Your head tells you not to but your heart is already in it.
And theres something that just feels different this time.
Hes been honest with you from the start.
From the moment you met him, there was just something different about him.
He called when he said he would.
He texted you when he said he would.
He stuck with the plan you talked about.
Hes never once made you question how he feels or what his intentions are.
Meanwhile, you are looking for any sign he might be playing you.
But you realize this time its not a game and your feelings arent some pawn in his game.
He takes things slow.
He knows the best things and people are worth waiting for.
He doesnt pressure you.
He takes your hand and lets you lead the way and hes just grateful its his hand youre holding.
His word is gold.
Phrases like, I told you I would didnt I?
Come in waves of reassurance like its something so simple saying something you mean and following through.
And you look at him feeling guilty you questioned him in the first place.
He listens when you speak and remembers things.
Theres a silence as you tell him things and he just looks at you taking it all in.
Appreciating the fact you trust him and confide in him with some of the heavier things.
Next thing you know youre saying things to him you havent even admitted to yourself out loud.
But more than that he remembers the little things you say passing in conversation.
Its the well thought out gestures.
He wants you happy because so much of his happiness includes you.
He chooses you every day.
Theres never a second thought or doubt about it.
Hes proud to call you his own.
He wants to know your friends.
He wants to know your family.
Hes so happy to have you he wants to show you off to everyone.
In everything, you do hes got your back.
When all youve known is looking out for yourself it comes as a surprise when someone is there.
He wants to hear about your past.
Everyone has a past.
Everyone has skeletons in their closet.
Everyone has that ex that ruined them.
And when you tell him these things he doesnt look at you as damaged or a mess.
If anything hes grateful for the mistakes others have made in your past.
Because had they realized your worth and treated you the way you deserved neither of you would be here.
But doesnt want to repeat it.
He doesnt need to hurt you to realize your worth.
